UPDATE: May, 2013. The Salt Grotto in NW Portland has closed.
The salt caves of Europe are known for their health-giving properties. The negative ions and trace elements have helped many people recover from respiratory illnesses like asthma and allergies. Northwest Portland is home to the Salt Grotto, a man-made oasis that features a halotherapy room equipped with thousands of pounds of Dead Sea and Himalayan salt. Yoga and massage sessions are offered in the tranquil room, or simply recline in the gravity-free chairs and breathe deep. A 45 minute session is just $30 and can be the key to making a stubborn cough go away, or revitalizing your entire body. The Salt Grotto is near NW 14th and Lovejoy at 906 NW 14th.
